Black Mirror is that original British anthology television series with most episodes set in near-future dystopias containing sci-fi technology—a type of speculative fiction. I was originally a big fan.

“Metalhead” is the 5th episode of the 4th series. The one I still have nightmares about. Bella (Maxine Peake) trying to flee from robotic “dogs” after the unexplained collapse of human society. 

I’d pretty much quit on Black Mirror after season four.

BUT I’d heard season 7 was a return to greatness. So decided to watch.

“Eulogy” is the 5th episode. Excellent.

… a lonely man (Paul Giamatti) revisits his memories and photographs of an old girlfriend who has recently died, in order to send his memories of her to her family. Through the experience, he learns more about her and the relationship. The episode has received critical acclaim, with many reviewers calling it the best episode of series 7, and one of the best episodes of Black Mirror of all time …

Episode 1 “Common People” is good, as well.

Teacher Amanda (Rashida Jones) and welder Mike are a happy couple who want a child.

Amanda falls ill with a brain tumor and Mike accepts an offer from the start-up Rivermind: Amanda’s brain will be restored and operated for a monthly fee. The lost brain function is transferred wirelessly to Amanda from the company’s servers.

It goes badly wrong from there.

I ended up fast forwarding through the final episodes.
